Patrick NEEDS our help

...thought you might like to see how some people are just miserable bastards-period.....this is what I got in my Ebay message box today.....talk about getting kneed in the crotch for trying to do a good thing....I am pissed beyond measure....I have filed a complaint with Ebay and Marsha is aware of the situation....

Dear gntlgnt,

This item is a fake. And the letter you typed up is not a COA, it would be an LOA if it were authentic. Legitimate COAs come from experts, not someone's personal assistant. As a lifelong Stephen King devotee, I am appalled you would charge such an exorbitant amount for a book worth $17.00 by forging the name of one of the greatest masters of the craft. And fabricating an amateurish facsimile of what you imagine the letterhead of a world renowned author would use, while simultaneously alleging that a personal assistant could authenticate autographs and editions, is the epitome of ludicrous. But the coup de grace is that you have the audacity to claim that all proceeds will be used in some sort of charitable donation. I cannot begin to tell you how many laws you are violating. I can tell you it has not gone unnoticed. And I'm not the only one who noticed it. I suggest you take a moment to ponder the wisdom of the aforementioned actions and then - make good choices.

I'm surprised it's the only one you've gotten. Trolls. Probably from that other site. Jealous. Never mind them. We are Ka-Tet.

I'm sitting at a library computer with cold wet pants (Arby's, it turns out, actually has pretty good coffee, however they truly do need to rethink their top mounted hot liquid receptacle containment device), wondering how an asshat idiot jerk like me could possibly have so many wonderful friends, I am awe struck, or simply just in awe...you nuts, ya know perhaps y'all should consider raising that bar just an inch or two.
I don't have much time, evidently here in Hamilton county Ohio I guess folks can get their computin' bidness done in an hour, me, eh, y'all know I can get a wee windy, so as much as I'd love it I can't hang out for long or read all I've missed...I so freakin' miss you guys!
I hope I can reach out over the holidays, see I'll be kickin' back a bit, I'ma house and pooch sitting right here in Buckeyeville for our very own IfSoGrrrrl and hubster, whilst they go ScoobyDoo Divin', pretty cool & groovy that, huh?
Right now I'm killin' some time stalking a kitchen, it's in an old Irish joint in my old 'hood, they closed it when the last cook left and haven't reopened it, the whole neighborhood, as well as the bartenders, they all wish it opened back up, so me, I'm tryin' to get the owners to give me an audience so I can swoon them, or moon them, over...hey whatever it takes!
I've been a bit of a pest (understatement of the day), somebody suggested I have a hard time stopping when most would already have gone home to bed.
But now see that's the really groovy part, 'cause my home and bed has been parked right outside..okay so yeah maybe kinda creepy, but I readily admitted I was stalking their kitchen, so...
Scott, Marsha, Mr. King, Deej & Flakey, my rock and conduit to this board, Spidey, and each and every one of you unbelievably generous folkens who have demonstrated all manner of belief in me, I can't begin to thank y'all enough, but I promise I will try to prove you weren't wasting your valuable time.
I love you peoples, please give me some time to let y'all know how much it is all, I mean gee whiz & holy smokes this stalkin' bidness is beaucoup time consumin', who freakin' knew???
Almost out of time, allow me to close for now by wishing you all, and every single one of yours, yeah and yours too, a most merry Christmas, and very Happy New Year!!!!!
Youz guyz!

Good to hear from you PatInTheHat! Will cross all my fingers, toes, eyes, legs, arms....well, may have to rethink that as I wouldn't get much work done --that you'll be able to make something happen with the kitchen job. In the meantime, it's wonderful to know you and your fur babies will be in a home for the holidays. Sending you much love and holiday wishes.

For what it's worth. My heart is in your pocket Pat. I thought I'd let you know that.

Just incase you were wondering what that tough old soggy, thudding, warm, squishy thing in your pocket was.
